Great White Shark Cage Breach Accident

An underwater photographer got unexpectedly close to his subject when a great white shark broke into his cage.

The incident took place on Thursday near Guadalupe Island, Mexico, where divers frequently descend into the shark-filled waters, and shocking incidents like this have occurred several times over the past year. And surprisingly, this phenomenon may also be beneficial to the sharks.

As the above video shows, the diver and shark were both put in danger when the shark chased a piece of bait into a cage, blindly smashing through a large hole and becoming trapped.
